I Had A Magic Kit.

I Think Distribution Has Become A Lot Harder. With The Whole Explosion Of Digital Video, There's Just A Lot More People Making Films. Distributors Have A Lot More Choice. I Do Think There's An Audience Out There For Small Films. It's Obvious To Me What The Studios Do: They've Co-opted Independent Film. They All Have Their Independent Arm. They Can Afford To Crush The Competition.

When I Was In Pre-production For Trees Lounge, I Was Hearing The Cinematographer Talking With The Production Designer About Colours And This And That And Feeling Like I Was Losing Control.

I Never Had Any Master Plan About Directing, And I Don't Really Write.

I'm Terrible At Story And Structure, But I'm Not So Bad At Writing Dialogue.

It Doesn't Matter So Much Where The Material Comes From, As Long As It's Good.
